9-5 Is Out. Try the 1-6 Instead

    I have had that experience for years. It can be quite disheartening to see
    the sun set while you are on your way home.

Try watching the sun set from work, then glancing at the clock and seeing that you won't leave for another hour

At least you see the sun. The pacific northwest is brutal this time of year. I have a massive UV lamp on my work desk. S.A.D.

Not to brag here but I think brutal is a bit of an overstatement. From what I can tell Seattle gets like 9,5 hours of sunlight now. That's almost two hours more than Stockholm, depending on the day. I have friends living in Luleå and two weeks ago they had less than 5 hours of sun. Now that's brutal.

The shitty thing about living in the north isn't the cold, it's the combination of cold and dark, but mostly it's the dark...

Fair enough.

Throw in the rain with lack of UV in Seattle - unless you live in Wales there's not many other places that get this many consecutive days of rain and low to no UV during winter.

We're both miserable. Sounds like we should get a beverage or two and bitch about weather together. Cheers.
